Ok a May host booked a catalog party off herself... does she get two specials one for being the host from which the party was booked and one for the current catalog party she is hosting? Also she wants to know if the plates on page 5 of the catalog in the three tiered stand are the small or...

I had a show the other night that I JUST KNEW would be a GREAT one! I taked to the host several times and she seemed very enthusiastic. She was expecting 22-25 people and some would be couples so she wanted my DH to come too - said that her DH and my DH could be the designated grillers (her DH...

This is going to seem like a very weird question and you may be wondering my sanity. A little back story... I met this host at a couple's party. The husband was way more into PC and the products than the wife is. He agreed to host a party last March. One of the worst actual parties I have...

So I just got a call from a recent host of mine. Apparently she had some missing items and some extra items. One was the Forged Cutlery Santoku Knife. It was the only thing that this particular guest even ordered. I've had items missing before, but never a $70 knife. Has any one else...

I know that the 1/2 off out of the host pocket is not commissionable, but what about the 20% off items. for example, i have a good friend hosting for me today. and i know that she is not going to take advantage of her discount that shes going to receive. if i were to order something under her...

Question for all of you. Last week I did a Bridal Shower. The host wants to have most orders on the shower, and then she has a few orders that she wants on her own show. Can I have them both be cooking shows on the same day? So one would be a Shower and the other a Cooking show!!

I held my friend hostage and made her host a cooking show (what are friends for, right?). She complained her apartment was too small, so I solved that by letting her host it at my house. That ended up being really nice because then the guests were able to look at ALL of my PC stuff and play with...

I have seen messages in the shout box that has confussed me on this fund raiser I am hoping you guys can help me. I know the % for the HWC is 25% and my commission is still 15% that's all I understand. Here are my questions: What has to be done different if the orders are placed on my...

How many books to you send out to your Host who is doing a book show for you? This is my first time doing a catalogue show for someone I didn't really know so I am just wondering what the best way to go with a book show to ensure a good turn out. Thanks Sandra

I had a host start a catalog show. When she was getting orders, one of her guests, asked to have a catalog show as well. So now I have 2 catalog shows going on. The problem is, the second catalog show is going to close today. My problem is, the first host wanted the booking benefit for the...

I have a question that I have not seen answered - so here goes. My sister lives in NJ and her DH has tons of relatives that live in Canada (brothers, sisters, neices, nephews etc.). She was thinking of doing a catalog party and sending catalogs to her DH's relatives in Canada. So here are my...

I have a show coming up and I'm still not sure what to make....I'm a new consultant and I need something easy to make..but also something that picky eaters will like. I also dont have many other pampered chef items besides what came in my new consultant kit. I would like to do a recipe that...

I have a host who can think of 8 people to invite. Thankfully, she knows that's not enough but she is relatively new to the area and works from home. Does anyone have a list of different guest catagories or inspring email to send her? I'd like to give her a bit of inspiration. THANKS....

Ok, I know this has been talked about a lot before but I was just working on a letter to a coworkers husband and I thought of something. The letters I've seen talk about ordering $200 in product and being eligible for free and discounted products. Wouldn't this really just be an individual...

At my last show the host had over $100 in outside orders and 12 guests at the show, I did the three pile method, and no one wants to do a show:mad: What should I do? the show will be open for a few more days so I have a chance, but do I contact guests or ask the host who she thinks might want...

Before I call HO, figured I would just ask here. I have a show closing on Tuesday next week. We are booking a catalog show off the first show which is closing Thursday (2 days later). What if the first host doesn't have a past host discount number by then? What do I put in so that she gets...

My host on Sunday just advised that her nephew will be in attendance and he is severely allergic to nuts. My dessert that I was intending to make will no longer work and I would like something quick and easy to make, as I will also be demoing the tangy pepper pecan brie (sans pecans). I'm just...

Ok.. my hostess wants me to make this in the DCB. Simple and Easy... there is nothing to wow the guests with... any suggestions... food tips products to incorporate.... I am soo stuck?

As a new consultant, this will be the first year I am doing HWC shows. It is my understanding that when you host a HWC Fundraiser in May that the money goes to HWC and the ACS. However, I was thinking about offering the HWC shows to the Relay for Life teams in my area to help with thier...

When people offer to do catalog shows, how do you host coach them? I have 2 going on right now and one has pulled in $40 and the other $0.

A Premier Jewelry consultant is hosting a joint jewelry-Pampered Chef party at the end of this month. I like her as a person and we've been talking about doing a PC party since last summer so I'm ready to do it even though I'm not expecting much as far as sales since there is divided loyalties...

My host for the 19th said she's inviting 8 adults and 22 kids! I'd love to tell her to invite more, but scared that she will!

I scheduled a cooking show Dec 10th(last minute and change of dates) and then I am having a Premier Jewerly Party on the 11th. I will need to provide snacks for the jewerly party. Here is the problem....TIME! I will workmy8-5 job on the 10th go to my cooking show directly after work. Be...

I am hosting a family Christmas party next weekend and I would love to have everyone share some Pampered Chef recipes that they are planning on doing for their Christmas parties. I am planning on doing appetizers only and I will probably do the Cran-raspberry fizz. So, who wants to share? I...

Back in October I had a show that a credit card was declined for a particular guest. When I called to let her know and arrange another form of payment, the first thing I asked was if there was another credit or debit card we could do. She said no. I had to wait over a week to get cash from...

I have a show coming up where it will be a combo show with a purse party. I have been to a purse party and I know that they will scatter purses, wallets, etc anywhere that is bare (all over the floor, etc). Where in the world am I going to put my stuff and do my demo? I know that this could...

I approached my sister in law about hosting a show in January (when I'm starting) and she said of course she'd love to host a show and proceeded to tell me how many of her friends *love* PC and how excited she was about the stoneware sale. Since I live out of town, not only would her friends be...
